The scholarship covers tuition, dormitory fees, four excursions and incidental insurance. Meals are not included and students must provide their own airfare to and from Taiwan.
This scholarship will provide a quality Mandarin Chinese immersion program with emphasis on speaking, listening, reading and writing.
